Strategies for getting the best Fripp Island rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To find the best value, try changing your family's Beaufort, SC trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Beaufort, SC area:

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 805 Marlin Drive - Completely Renovated for 2024 Stays! Resort Access Included! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
